Old-School Essentials is an adventure role-playing game of exploration, danger, monsters, and magic. The game is intentionally rules-light, putting the focus of play on imagination, improvisation, and fun. The rules are optimized for ease of use at the table, with meticulous attention to wording and layout clarity. What’s more, Old-School Essentials is 100% compatible with the classic Basic/Expert game from 1981, meaning that decades of adventure are at your fingertips. The Advanced Fantasy addition adds reams of exciting content inspired by the ever-popular Advanced 1st Edition rules. All that delicious esoteric 1970s flavor you crave is here — assassins, poisons, drow, half-orcs,mimics, xorns, vorpal swords, ioun stones… even the dreaded tarrasque! More classes, more magic, more monsters, more options. All 100% compatible with the Basic/Expert rules and presented in the familiar Old-School Essentials style.

Which version is this OSE Advanced Players Handbook is this? v1.2?David Babbitt asked on August 22, 2022
The print version we have on hand is from the only print run - based on the 'Advanced' Kickstarter. That was over a year ago. We anticipate the first reprinting will be released with their upcoming Kickstarter - The "Old-School Essentials" Kickstarter. The PDF, however, has just been updated. --Eric
